【0020】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。
(実施の形態1)
図1は、本発明の第1の実施の形態に係る移動通信システムの無線移動局の構成を示したブロック図である。図1において、無線移動局100は、送受信部110、GPS受信機111、方位センサ112、ベースバンド信号処理部113、位置算出部114、方位算出部115、速度算出部116、下り通信品質測定部117、ハンドオーバ制御部118、ハンドオーバ制御用パラメータ記憶装置119、周辺基地局情報記憶装置120を有している。
【0021】
上記の構成の無線移動局100は、報知情報130および通信データ140を無線基地局150、無線基地局160または無線基地局170との間で送受する。
【0022】
次に本実施の形態の動作について説明する。無線移動局100が無線基地局150と通信中または待ち受け動作中に、無線基地局150は報知情報130により自局および周辺基地局の位置情報を送信する。無線移動局100では、その報知情報130を送受信部110により受信し、その受信信号がベースバンド信号処理部113により信号処理されて下り通信品質測定部117に入力され、ここで下り通信品質が算出される。
【0023】
一方、位置算出部114はGPS受信機111の受信信号より自局100の位置を算出すると共に、算出された位置情報と前記報知情報130とにより無線移動局100から無線基地局150および無線基地局160および無線基地局170までの距離を算出する。また、方位算出部115は方位センサ112が検出した方位情報と位置算出部114から知らされる自局100の位置情報と前記報知情報130とにより自局の移動方向を算出する。
【0024】
速度算出部116はGPS受信機111の受信情報、方位センサ112の方位情報および報知情報130をベースバンド信号処理部113によりベースバンドに変換した報知情報信号に基づいて自局100の移動速度を算出する。また、下り通信品質測定部117は上記したベースバンドに変換した報知情報信号により下り通信品質を測定する。
【0025】
ハンドオーバ制御部118は、位置算出部114、方位算出部115、速度算出部116および下り通信品質測定部117からそれぞれ距離、方位、速度、下り通信品質を入力して、周辺基地局毎に周辺基地局情報記憶装置120へ記憶すると共に、任意時間後の位置予測および周辺基地局情報を算出してハンドオーバ制御用パラメータ記憶装置119からのパラメータに応じたハンドオーバ制御を行う。
【0026】
図2は第1の実施の形態の無線移動局および無線基地局の配置例を示した図である。図2に示すように、無線移動局100がP1地点を移動中であり、P2地点とP3地点を通過する移動経路を通るものとする。図2(A)はP1地点での無線通信状況を示し、図2(B)は任意時刻後の移動予測地点であるP3地点での予測される無線通信状況を示す。P1地点を移動中の無線移動局100は無線基地局150と通信中であり、無線基地局160および無線基地局170は下り通信品質を測定しているモニタ通信状態にある。
【0027】
図3の上段は、図2のP1地点での無線移動局情報および周辺無線基地局情報を示し、図3の下段は、任意時刻後の移動予測地点であるP3地点での予測される無線移動局情報および周辺無線基地局情報を示す。無線移動局100がP1地点での位置算出部114と方位算出部115と速度算出部116と下り通信品質測定部117からの情報を基に、無線基地局150、160、170の位置、無線移動局100から無線基地局150、160、170までの距離、無線移動局100からの無線基地局150、160、170の方位、下り通信品質情報をそれぞれ周辺基地局情報記憶装置120へ保存したものが図3の上段の図である。
【0028】
図3の上段に示したP1地点での無線基地局および周辺無線基地局情報から任意時間後の移動予測位置をP3地点とした場合の無線移動局情報および周辺無線基地局情報を予測して算出した結果が図3の下段に示した図である。
【0029】
無線移動局100は予測後の情報を基に次のハンドオーバ先である無線基地局170を決定する制御を行う。P3地点における無線移動局100および無線基地局150、160、170の配置は図2(b)に示すとおりである。
【0030】
図4は第1の実施の形態に示した移動通信システムの無線通信動作を説明するシーケンス図で、図5は同移動通信システムの無線通信動作手順を説明するフローチャートである。尚、図4のシーケンスにおけるステップを400番台で示し、図5のフローチャートのステップを500番台で示すものとする。
【0031】
無線移動局100がステップ500で、無線基地局150と通信中(ステップ400)、無線基地局150はステップ501で、任意のタイミングで無線基地局150が周辺無線基地局の位置情報を報知情報130として無線移動局100に通知する(ステップ401)。(無線基地局150はあらかじめ自局および周辺無線基地局情報を記憶している)
【0032】
無線移動局100はステップ502で、受信した報知情報130とGPS受信機111の位置情報に基づいて自局100と周辺の無線基地局150、160、170との距離を算出し、また、ステップ503で、方位センサ112等により自局100と周辺の無線基地局150、160、170の方位を算出し、さらに、ステップ504で、速度算出部116により自局100の速度を算出する(ステップ402)。次に無線移動局100はステップ505で、下り通信品質測定部117にて通信中の無線基地局150および周辺の無線基地局160、170の下り通信品質を測定する(ステップ403)。
【0033】
無線移動局100はステップ506で、上記算出した距離、方位、速度および下り通信品質に基づいて周辺無線基地局情報を作成し(ステップ404)、ステップ507で、これら周辺無線基地局情報の距離、方位、速度のパラメータから任意時間後の自局100の位置を予測する。
【0034】
この間、無線移動局100は無線基地局150で通信中で(ステップ405)、無線基地局160、無線基地局170との通信モニタ中(ステップ406、407)である。
【0035】
無線移動局100はステップ508で、予測した無線移動局100の位置での周辺無線基地局情報を算出して、周辺無線基地局情報を作成する(ステップ408)。さらに、無線移動局100はステップ509で、算出した予測後の周辺無線基地局情報の中で無線基地局毎の距離および下り通信品質を比較する。
【0036】
無線移動局100はステップ509で、距離が最も近く且つ下り通信品質の改善も予測される例えば無線基地局170をハンドオーバ先の無線基地局に決定し(ステップ409)、ステップ510で、無線基地局170とのハンドオーバ制御を行う(ステップ410)。
【0037】
無線移動局100はステップ511で、ハンドオーバ制御が完了し、ステップ512で、無線基地局170と通信中状態へ移行する(ステップ411)。また、無線移動局100は無線基地局160とのモニタ通信を行う(ステップ412)。
【0038】
本実施の形態によれば、無線移動局100の任意時間後の予測した移動位置での無線通信状態を予測することでハンドオーバ制御を行うことにより、不要なハンドオーバ制御を行う回数を減少させることができ、無線通信システム全体の負荷低減と無線移動局100が高速移動中でのハンドオーバ制御時の通信の安定性を向上させることができ、さらにハンドオーバ制御を行う回数が減少した分、無線移動局100の消費電力を低減させる効果がある。
【0039】
(実施の形態2)
図6は、本発明の第2の実施の形態に係る移動通信システムの無線移動局および無線基地局の配置を示した図であり、図6(a)は市街地等の無線基地局が密集している場合、図6(b)は郊外や高速道路、新幹線による高速移動時等の無線基地局が閑散としている場合の配置例である。但し、本例の構成は上記した第1の実施の形態と同様であるため、以下同一の構成を持つ各部については、その構成動作の説明を省略し、以下、その動作の特徴部分を説明する。
【0040】
本実施の形態は図6に示すように、無線移動局100が上記2つの特徴的な場所を移動中に、ハンドオーバ制御が発生する場合を想定している。図7の上段に、市街地等の無線基地局が密集している場合の無線移動局情報および周辺無線基地局情報を示してある。無線移動局100が低速で走行中であり、また周辺の無線基地局150〜170との距離が近距離であって、下り通信品質が安定している場合に、ハンドオーバ制御部118で地域予想を“市街地”と判断することによって、図7の下段に示すように報告待ち時間を延長し、ハンドオーバイベント報告レンジを短縮して、無線移動局100の送信電力を減少する制御を行う。
【0041】
図8の上段は、郊外、高速道路、新幹線による移動時等、周囲にある無線基地局が閑散としている場合の無線移動局情報および周辺無線基地局情報を示した図である。無線移動局100が中速〜高速で走行中であり、また周辺無線基地局との距離が遠距離であって、下り通信品質が不安定な場合に、ハンドオーバ制御部118で地域予想を“郊外”または“高速移動”と判断することによって、図8の下段に示すように報告待ち時間を短縮し、ハンドオーバイベント報告レンジを伸長して無線移動局100の送信電力を増加する制御を行う。
【0042】
図9(a)は市街地等の無線基地局が密集している場合、図9(b)は郊外、高速道路、新幹線による移動時等の周辺無線基地局が閑散としている場合のハンドオーバ制御タイミング図を示す。図9(a)の場合は、周辺無線基地局が密集しているため、91に示すようにハンドオーバイベント報告レンジを短縮することでイベント報告の発生を減少し、また、92に示すように報告待ち時間を延長することでイベント報告の時間間隔を延長させ、不要なハンドオーバイベント報告の発生を抑制する。同時に無線移動局100の送信電力も減少することで無線移動局100の消費電力の低減を図る。
【0043】
図9(b)の場合は、周辺無線基地局が閑散としているため、93に示すようにハンドオーバイベント報告レンジを伸長することでイベント報告の発生を増加させ、また、94に示すように報告待ち時間を短縮することでイベント報告の時間間隔を短縮させる。同時に無線移動局100の送信電力も増加することで閑散地での呼切断の減少を図る。
【0044】
図10は図9で示した条件による本実施の形態の移動無線局のハンドオーバ制御タイミングを示したフローチャートである。無線移動局100はステップ1000にて、例えば無線基地局150と通信中にステップ1001にて、任意のタイミングで無線基地局150が周辺無線基地局の位置情報を報知情報130として無線移動局100に通知する。(なお、無線基地局150〜170はあらかじめ自局および周辺無線基地局情報を記憶している)
【0045】
無線移動局100はステップ1002にて、報知情報130とGPSによる位置算出部114により自局および周辺無線基地局との距離を算出し、ステップ1003にて方位算出部115等により無線移動局100と周辺無線基地局の方位を算出し、ステップ1004にて、速度算出部116により無線移動局100の速度を算出し、ステップ1005にて、下り通信品質測定部117にて通信中の無線移動局100と周辺の無線基地局150〜170の下り通信品質を測定する。無線移動局100はステップ1006にて、上記算出した距離、方位、速度、下り通信品質の諸情報により周辺無線基地局情報を作成する。
【0046】
無線移動局100はステップ1007にて、周辺無線基地局情報より無線移動局100の周辺無線基地局状況を予測し、ステップ1008にて無線移動局100の周辺状況が市街地であるかどうかを判断し、この予測結果が市街地の場合はステップ1009の処理を、郊外の場合はステップ1012の処理を実行する。
【0047】
予測結果が市街地の場合、無線移動局100はステップ1009にて、ハンドオーバ制御用パラメータの報告待ち時間パラメータを延長し且つ、ステップ1010にて、ハンドオーバ制御用パラメータのハンドオーバイベント報告レンジパラメータを短縮する。これにより、無線移動局100はステップ1011にて、無線移動局100の送信電力を減少させる制御を行う。
【0048】
一方、予測結果が郊外の場合、無線移動局100はステップ1012にて、ハンドオーバ制御用パラメータの報告待ち時間パラメータを短縮し、且つステップ1013にて、ハンドオーバ制御用パラメータのハンドオーバイベント報告レンジパラメータを伸長する。これにより、無線移動局100はステップ1014にて、送信電力を増加させる制御を行う。
【0049】
無線移動局100はステップ1015にて、次のハンドオーバ制御時にハンドオーバ制御用パラメータを反映した制御を行う。
【0050】
本実施の形態によれば、地域ごとの無線基地局環境に応じてハンドオーバ制御用パラメータおよび無線移動局100の送信電力を変更するハンドオーバ制御を行うことができ、これにより、呼切断の少ない高精度なハンドオーバ制御が可能になり、無線通信システム全体の負荷低減と無線移動局100の消費電力を低減させることができる。
【0051】
なお、上記した各実施の形態の動作をプログラム化し、コンピュータに実行させることで実施できる。その際、コンピュータプログラムはフロッピーディスク(R)やハードディスク等のディスク型記録媒体、半導体メモリやカード型メモリ等の各種メモリまたは通信ネットワーク等の各種プログラム記録媒体を通じてコンピュータに供給することができる。
【0052】
これにより、呼切断の少ない高精度なハンドオーバ制御と無線移動局の消費電力を低減させる無線通信制御をプログラムにより実行することで、複雑かつ自由な無線通信制御が可能になり、移動通信システムの仕様変更等が発生した場合にも柔軟な設計変更が可能になる。また記録媒体に不揮発性の性質をもつ不揮発性記録媒体を使用することにより、設計変更等により再度記録媒体へのプログラムの書き込みが必要になった場合でも、ユーザーが何回でも書き直して修正できる機能を容易に実現できる点にある。
【0053】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、無線移動局の任意の時間後の予測位置での周辺無線基地局との距離と通話品質に基づいてハンドオーバ制御を行うことにより、不要なハンドオーバ制御回数を抑制して、無線移動局の消費電力を低減できると共に無線システム全体の負荷を低減して安定な通信を維持することができる。
【0054】
また、無線移動局の周辺基地局密度に応じて、ハンドオーバ制御用パラメータまたは送信電力を変更することにより、都市部等でのshadowing 現象等によるハンドオーバ制御時の呼切断を減少させることができる高精度なハンドオーバ制御を実現することができる。

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an arrangement of wireless mobile stations and wireless base stations in the mobile communication system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. FIG. 6B is an example of an arrangement in a case where the radio base station is quiet, such as when traveling on a suburb, a highway, or a high speed train by a Shinkansen. However, since the configuration of this example is the same as that of the above-described first embodiment, the description of the configuration operation of each unit having the same configuration will be omitted, and the characteristic portions of the operation will be described below. .
[0040]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that handover control occurs while the wirelessmobile station 100 is moving between the above two characteristic locations. The upper part of FIG. 7 shows wireless mobile station information and peripheral wireless base station information when wireless base stations in an urban area or the like are densely packed. When the wirelessmobile station 100 is traveling at a low speed, the distance to the nearbywireless base stations 150 to 170 is short, and the downlink communication quality is stable, thehandover control unit 118 estimates the area. By judging that it is “city area”, control is performed to extend the report waiting time, shorten the handover event report range, and reduce the transmission power of the wirelessmobile station 100, as shown in the lower part of FIG.
[0041]
The upper part of FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating wireless mobile station information and peripheral wireless base station information when the surrounding wireless base stations are idle, such as when traveling on a suburb, a highway, or a bullet train. When the wirelessmobile station 100 is traveling at a medium speed to a high speed, the distance to the peripheral wireless base station is long, and the downlink communication quality is unstable, By determining “” or “high-speed movement”, control is performed to reduce the report waiting time, extend the handover event report range, and increase the transmission power of the wirelessmobile station 100, as shown in the lower part of FIG.
[0042]
FIG. 9A is a handover control timing diagram when the radio base stations in a city area or the like are dense, and FIG. 9B is a handover control timing when the peripheral radio base stations in a suburb, an expressway, a bullet train, or the like are idle. Is shown. In the case of FIG. 9A, since the surrounding radio base stations are dense, the occurrence of the event report is reduced by shortening the handover event report range as shown in 91, and the report is made as shown in 92. By extending the waiting time, the time interval of event reporting is extended, and the occurrence of unnecessary handover event reporting is suppressed. At the same time, the power consumption of the wirelessmobile station 100 is reduced by reducing the transmission power of the wirelessmobile station 100.
[0043]
In the case of FIG. 9B, since the surrounding wireless base stations are idle, the handover event report range is extended as shown at 93 to increase the occurrence of event reports, and as shown at 94, the report waits. Shortening the time shortens the time interval of event reporting. At the same time, the transmission power of the wirelessmobile station 100 is also increased to reduce call disconnection in off-peak areas.
[0044]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the handover control timing of the mobile radio station according to the present embodiment under the conditions shown in FIG. Instep 1000, for example, during communication with theradio base station 150, theradio base station 150 transmits the position information of the peripheral radio base station to theradio mobile station 100 asbroadcast information 130 atstep 1001 atstep 1001. Notice. (Note that thewireless base stations 150 to 170 previously store their own and peripheral wireless base station information.)
[0045]
Instep 1002, themobile station 100 calculates the distance between itself and the surrounding radio base station by using thebroadcast information 130 and the GPS-basedposition calculation unit 114. Instep 1003, theazimuth calculation unit 115 etc. Instep 1004, the speed of the wirelessmobile station 100 is calculated by thespeed calculating unit 116, and instep 1005, the wirelessmobile station 100 in communication with the downlink communication quality measuring unit 117 is calculated. And the downlink communication quality of the surroundingwireless base stations 150 to 170. Instep 1006, the wirelessmobile station 100 creates peripheral wireless base station information based on the information on the calculated distance, azimuth, speed, and downlink communication quality.
[0046]
Instep 1007, the wirelessmobile station 100 predicts the surrounding wireless base station situation from the surrounding wireless base station information, and determines instep 1008 whether the surrounding situation of the wirelessmobile station 100 is in an urban area. If the prediction result is in an urban area, the processing instep 1009 is executed, and in the case of a suburb, the processing instep 1012 is executed.
[0047]
If the prediction result is an urban area, theradio mobile station 100 extends the report waiting time parameter of the handover control parameter instep 1009 and shortens the handover event report range parameter of the handover control parameter instep 1010. Accordingly, the wirelessmobile station 100 performs control to reduce the transmission power of the wirelessmobile station 100 instep 1011.
[0048]
On the other hand, if the prediction result is a suburb, theradio mobile station 100 shortens the report waiting time parameter of the handover control parameter instep 1012, and extends the handover event report range parameter of the handover control parameter instep 1013. I do. Accordingly, theradio mobile station 100 performs control to increase the transmission power instep 1014.
[0049]
Instep 1015, theradio mobile station 100 performs control reflecting the handover control parameters at the time of the next handover control.
[0050]
According to the present embodiment, it is possible to perform handover control for changing the handover control parameters and the transmission power of theradio mobile station 100 according to the radio base station environment in each region, thereby achieving high precision with little call disconnection Handover control can be performed, and the load on the entire wireless communication system can be reduced and the power consumption of the wirelessmobile station 100 can be reduced.
[0051]
The operation of each of the above-described embodiments can be implemented by being programmed and executed by a computer. At that time, the computer program can be supplied to the computer through a disk-type recording medium such as a floppy disk (R) or a hard disk, various memories such as a semiconductor memory or a card-type memory, or various program recording media such as a communication network.
[0052]
This makes it possible to perform complex and free wireless communication control by executing high-precision handover control with less call disconnection and wireless communication control to reduce power consumption of the wireless mobile station by a program. Even when a change or the like occurs, a flexible design change becomes possible. In addition, by using a non-volatile recording medium with a non-volatile property as a recording medium, even if it becomes necessary to rewrite the program to the recording medium due to design change, the user can rewrite and modify the program as many times as necessary. Can be easily realized.

As a result, the power consumption of the wireless mobile station can be reduced, and the load on the entire wireless system can be reduced to maintain stable communication.
[0054]
In addition, by changing the parameters for handover control or the transmission power according to the density of the base stations in the vicinity of the wireless mobile station, it is possible to reduce call disconnection during handover control due to shadowing phenomena in urban areas and the like. Handover control can be realized.
